Wed, 20 Jun 2012 11:06:37 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/opinion/?p=20329#comment-21987There was another article where they explained that when Sharon Jones found the ticket there was a number still partially obscured. After she scratched that number off, the ticket then scanned properly. Sharon Duncan tossed that ticket because she was sloppy about properly scratching off a ticket, not because the machines were faulty. She doesn’t deserve that money.

If Duncan was not intelligent enough to see she had a winning ticket without the help of a machine and then chose to throw it away then by throwing away the ticket she threw away her rights to the ticket.

Appeal the case Jones…

How can the scanning machine in working order if it scanned the ticket as a non winner. If it was the winner then the scanning machine was not working correctly. Someone is blatantly lying.

I really feel for Jones. This is very unfair to her. although saying a winning ticket wasn’t a winner is unfair to Duncan as well.
